PRINCIPAL EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF ALABAMA.
The history of Alabama has numerous interesting and important events that deserve attention ; but in a work of the character and limits of this " Hand-Book," nothing more than a bare outline of such events can be given, and those seeking fuller information in regard thereto, are referred to the sev- eral histories of Alabama mentioned in the Appendix, post. 1540-July 2. The territory of what is now the State of Ala- bama entered by DeSoto, the Spanish adventurer, while searching for gold .*
1540-October 18. DeSoto fought the great battle of Mau- bila, or Maurila, with the tribe of Indians subsequently known as the Mobilians.t
1540-November 29. DeSoto passed out of Alabama into Mississippi, where is now the county of Lowndes, Mis- sissippi.#
1699-January 31. The French, under Iberville and Bien- ville, while sailing in search of the mouth of the Mis- sissippi river, discover Massacre, afterwards Dauphin Island .¿ |
. DeSoto, with about 1,000 cavaliers, splendidly armed and equipped, landed on the west coast of Florida, May 30, 1539, and marching through Florida and Georgia to northeastern Georgia, crossed over that State and entered Alabama in what is now Cherokee county. From there he marched in a southerly direction through Ala- bama to within one hundred miles of the gulf coast, and thence westwardly to the Mississippi river, which he discovered in May. 1541. Of course. it will be borne in mind that in DeSoto's time all the States mentioned were mere wilds, uninhabited. except by Indians, and called by one general name-Florida. For a full account of DeSoto's march, see Piekett's History of Alabama, vol. 1, chap. 1.
t Pickett, in his History of Alabama, vol. I, p. 27, locate- the site of this battle, which is said by Bancroft to have been one of the bloodiest Indian battles ever fought on the soil of the United States, at what is now Choctaw Bluff. Clarke county, on the Alabama river, about twenty-five miles above its confluence with the Tembigbee. The result of the battle was very disastrous to Desoto, and, although victorious, hi- army became badly demoralized, and never recovered from its effect .. DeSoto lost in kiltel eighty-two of his cavaliers, and killed 6.000 Indians.
i Desoto died, on the Mississippi, in May, 1542, of a malignant fever contracted in its swamps, and was buried in the middle of the river. on a dark. - tormy night. to prevent the desecration of his remains by the Indian -.
§ Previous to this, in April, Its2. LaSalle, a gifted young Frenchman residing in French Canada, had, with a few daring compamons, descended the Mississippi from

near its head waters to the mouth, and there, upon a small marshy elevation, in full view of the sea. taken formal possession of the country in the name of his king -- Louis XIV, the then reigning sovereign of France, and in whose honor the territory was named Louisiana. LaSalle could never afterwards find the mouth from the sea. Iberville and Bienville found it shortly after passing Massacre island.
" The French gave the name of Musswere to the island from the quantity of hu- man bones discovered on its surface.
* Mobile city took it- name from Mobile bay, and the bay received its name from a tribe of Indians once living upon its shores. These were the Indians who so hero- ically fought DeSoto at Mambilo in 1540, the remnant of whom surviving that san- quinary battle were found here by the early French, and by them called Mobilians.
+ The seat of government of the Louisiana colony, which, at that time, included the soil of the present States of Mississippi and Alabama, was fixed here by Bien- ville in 1702, and continued until 1711.
# The lower settlement at the mouth of Dog river, being subject to inundation, Bienville resolved to remove his capital to more elevated ground, and did so, to the spot where the city of Mobile now stands. Here he built another fort, of wood, which in a few years gave place to the extensive brick fortress. Fort Conde, of the French, and Fort Charlotte of the English. The French called it Conde, in honor of the French nobleman of that name; and the English called it Charlotte, to honor their young queen consort at the time they became possessed of it.
§ Fort Toulouse was located on a narrow neck of land between the Coosa and Tal- lapoosa rivers, and a stone conld be thrown into either stream from the fort. The old French graves can still be seen there-twenty-one buried together, who were ex- eeuted for muriny and the murder of their commander. Some interesting relies of the French have been found on the site of the old fort.
: France and Spain were then at war.
** These were a cargo of 120, and they were soll to the colonists at an average of "16 each, to be paid for in tobacco or rice, in three ammad installments. They were the first slaves introduced into the Louisiana colony, but ther arrival was rapidly followed by others.
